White guy in the middle in the back seat is merrily singing along with the Shania Twain "I feel like a woman" song. His buddies are squirming in their seats, sensing their buddy's lapsing machismo. Said buddies include the African American driver and the guy next to him, an Asian American guy. Diversity lives - and makes the white guy look mildly silly, not to mention twisting the very idea of manliness.... hehehe.

(This actually puts stuff like pizza and steak in the worth-it department, because of the high BTU oven and grill necessary to do it right). Poutine apparently doesn't even need to be cooked: the receipe is -- In a heavy paper bag, dump one serving of french fries, 8 ounces of fromage du cottage, and 8 ounces of canned brown beouf gravy. Shake, empty, and serve. What about the Japanese chick in the Toyota car commerical, with the crossdressing suit and suspenders? Must be the first Asian person in a US Toyota commercial, ever.
